snowing

It was one of those mornings when I really didnt want to get out of bed. I opened my eyes and looked out the window. It was white everywhere. I woke the kids to see the snow. Of course, their firsts words were "is it a snow day"? "Is it a two hour delay"? No, it was neither of those. They then began disussing their after school plans. I dont think they will have much to play in but it is beautiful seeing everything white especially the trees. I am enjoying watching the flurries come down. According to the farmers Alamanac, it is supposed to be a long white winter. I think they said this last year, too. We didnt get enough snow for the kids to wear their snow clothes but one day. I dont like shoveling or driving in the snow but I would love to have a good snowfall for the kids to play in. The neighbors have a big hill in their backyard. It is perfect for sledding. Even the parents join in, I feel it the next day but it is a good time. When my dad comes back we usually get a good snowfall. He is coming for Christmas, we may get a white one. Yea! The snow season in PA is usually in February/March. I guess it is time to go sit by the fireplace, read a book and enjoy my tea.
